Sometime in our history, someone had 
to name our school as Pioneers. Some¬ 
one believed this group of students could 
become Pioneers. The pioneer of early 
times was a settler who plowed his way 
through rough, unexplored land toward 
his goal. He lived a hard life settling in 
new territory, opening doors for future 
advancement. . . 


Pioneers! 
















But what is a Pioneer? another Prairie Belle. Whether you are

and

A Pioneer strives for the best. He 
sets goals and assertively tries to keep 
them. But he must believe he can 
make things better and he will achieve 
that goal. 


A Pioneer goes first. New traditions 
and ideas are started by Pioneers. 
Without Pioneers, we would not have a 
spirit stick, we would not have anyone 
in speech or sports go to State . . .

believing in making better. 



That is what the CLARION is all 
about, showing how in this year, nine 
months of our lives were spent. This 
yearbook says to us what our group of 
students as Pioneers can do or be, 
what we have done in the past, and 
what we can do in the future. 

In every section of this book, there 
is something worthwhile to look at, no 
matter what you’re interested in. Take 
time to read and see if you succeeded 
in being a Pioneer, if not, try harder 


next year. 

Your days as ll-High Pioneers are 
numbered, if not over, so become a 
Pioneer any way that you can. 
Because remember, we are not Iron- 
men, or Saints, or Raiders, but PIO¬ 
NEERS. 

To be a Pioneer in high school is 
why we came to UHS and with help 
from the students, faculty, and admin¬ 
istration, everyone can become one.

Secret 
pals 
add fun 


Spirit was the objective for the 1977- 
78 basketball and wrestling seasons. 
Cheerleaders and Prairie Belles psyched 
the basketball players up by starting 
“secret pals.” Pep Club members soon 
joined in to help cheer on the wrestlers. 

Every “secret pal” gave their special 
person a little gift before a game or

match. Everything was done in secret 
and the pals announced themselves to 
the guys on Valentine’s Day by sending 
coded messages, clues, and decorated 
cakes. Some of the secret pals had been 
discovered, but all in all it was fun. 
Cheerleaders and Prairie Belles ended 
their escapades by holding the first 
annual Secret Pal Dinner on February 15 
for the basketball players and coaches. 

This was one idea that started spirit, 
but there was one idea that proved to rise 
above the rest. The idea originally 
started as a return of our mascot which 
had not been seen for several years. It 
soon evolved into a Pioneer carrying a 
garbage can with the immortal words 
“Pioneers Can — Others Can’t.” Jeff 
Wilson had the honor of being the ever- 
rowdy Pioneer who jumped to his feet 
whenever times were troubled or the 
boys needed an extra boost. Jeff was 
often seen shooting down the opposing 
team's members with his rifle or raising 
the garbage can lid to receive cries and 
cheers of victory from the crowd. The 
idea was a success and gave the home 
basketball games an air of excitement.

The varsity gridders got off to a disap¬ 
pointing start, dropping the opener to 
Centra! Catholic in the closing seconds. 
But this wouldn’t stop the Pioneers from 
fighting. After losing to Clifton Central 
they bounced back, beating Pontiac and 
Clinton. 

The football team lost 3 more games 
before closing the season with 2 more 
victories, making their record 4-5. 

The final home game against Olympia 
proved to be the most exciting. Joe Wat¬ 
kins ran back the opening second half 
kickoff for a touchdown and in order to 
clinch the victory, the gridders rallied 
with an 80 yd. scoring drive in the clos¬ 
ing minutes to win 20-15. 

Fans were loyal throughout the season 
with a lot of spirit. Many students showed 
up at home and away games. Pep buses 
were taken to Clifton Central, Pontiac 
and Eureka. Signs decorated the 
lounge and the senior guys 
spelled U-High at the last home 
game — in unmentionable 
places. 

All in all the team was truly a 
team in effort as well as attitude. 
Tim Bergin and Mike Ritt were 
elected to the Intercity squad, 
while several players were voted 
to the all-conference team. More 
were named special or honora¬

Bergin and Mike Ritt. Captains,

Psych up — psych out 


Players and cheerleaders congratulate themselves on an Inter-City win. 



Faces showed a different kind of 
excitement lockers were decorated, and 
students actually started eyeing the bas¬ 
ketball players. What was this new, 
happy state of being that has overcome 
U-High students? It’s called State rank¬ 
ing. Our basketball team in all its style 
was ranked in State, climbing until it 
finally hit #5. 

But. . . All good things must end, and 
unfortunately instead of ending in 
Champaign with bright lights, and the 
roar of the crowds, it all ended in Colfax 
(and you may justifiably wonder where 
that is!) on a poorly lighted court with 
fans awed at what the flu and a few bad 
breaks can do to a team. 

The basketball team showed great 
potential and had some really good play¬ 
ers. Leading the team this year were Tom 
Burke, MVP, and Rod Armstrong, honor¬ 
ary captain. There were some exciting 
times, like Tom Burke's dunk in the 
Olympia game. There were some tense 
times, like the Central game in the Pit, 
There were some psych-up times, like 
Ros Hill’s and Curt Coffer’s secret 
rebounding contest to see who could pull 
in the most. And there were some disap¬ 
pointing times, like the IVC game where 
our first heart-breaking loss came with 
only a small handful of fans attending. 
But truthfully, with a record of 15-10 who 
can complain?

record 

disap¬ 

pointing 

The first season of class-competition 
baseball proved to be disappointing for 
the Pioneers. Early losses against AA 
schools led to a 4-16-1 record. Hopefully 
this tough competition had prepared 
UHS for tournament competition, but 
disciplinary action limited the team’s 
power as they lost an extra innings game 
against Chenoa in the regional. 

Senior pitcher Tom Scott served as 
team captain and MVP. Scott and Don 
Manzke were voted to the Ail-Conference 
team.

Mick Scott seems ready to shake his opponent's hand, yet not in the traditional way. 


It was a rebuilding year for this 
year’s grapplers. Due to the loss of six 
seniors from last year’s squad. Coach 
George Girardi was left with only four 
seniors and the rest of the squad was 
comprised of underclassmen. 

The team was led by the four sen¬ 
iors. Mick Scott qualified for State at 
167# and had a record of 25-7. Mick 
was also leading scorer and MVP. 


Brian Galloway placed second in Dis¬ 
trict at 132# and had a record of 22- 
13. Jon Doud also placed second in 
District at 112#. He finished the sea¬ 
son with a record of 17*12-1. Jim 
Brandt placed third in District at 138 
# and had a record of 21-9. 

Other letter winners were Ron Poes, 
Tom Murray, Tom Adams, Joel Hart¬ 
man, Kevin Kolbe, and Tim Biddle.

Jon Doud is declared the winner in a meet at U- 
High. 


Dr. George Girardi was one of the 
finest faculty members that Univer¬ 
sity High School has had. He was 
and still is a great promoter of 
sports, particularly wrestling, in 
which he has become the “Pio¬ 
neer” of Illinois wrestling. Coach 
Girardi has coached the U-High 
grapplers to the top 3 teams in the 
state in the last four years. He has 
received numerous honors, includ¬ 
ing Illinois Coach of the Year and 
induction into the Illinois Wrestling 
Hall of Fame. In addition. Dr. Gir¬ 
ardi leaves U-High as the recipient 
of the 1978 Teacher Service Award 
for outstanding and distinguished 
service to University High School. 
All of us at U-High, students and 
faculty alike, would like to wish Dr. 
Girardi the best of luck in whatever 
he pursues.

Swim team had a long season, a 
young team, and a new coach. Coach 
Richard Pein encourage the tankers to 
start shaping up in the fall even 
though the IHSA had moved swim¬ 
ming to the spring season. So all win¬ 
ter long, through their own dedication, 
the swim team braved the cold 
weather to practice. 

By spring, the team's dedication 
began to pay off. The team found the 
spring season an advantage as it 
could use Horton pool for its meets. 
Only one senior was on the team, but 
that didn't hold the swimmers back. 
They opened with a victory over 
Champaign Central and set up a good 
record against mostly AA schools, fin¬

Mononucleosis took sophomore 
stand-out Dave Bodien out of action 
for the season, but the juniors, includ¬ 
ing Most Valuable Swimmer Gary 
Pritts, carried on reporting some good 
times. Two favorite victories (for any 
U-High team) included the Intercity 
championship and a dual meet with 
Normal. 

District proved disappointing. No 
team member was able to advance to 
State against the tough competition of 
Peoria Central, Richwoods, and Pekin. 
However, in a show of team spirit, 
before the meet the school did see a 
number of shaved heads — and a 
mohawk!

With a combination of senior talent 
and sophomore-junior skill, the track 
team was able to send six men to State. 

Tom Burke represented the Pioneers 
in the high jump finishing fifth and the 
young two-mile relay (Matt and Tom 
Englehorn, Tim Killeen, and Dave Ber- 
gin) finished a respectable 13. Ros Hill 
competed in the jumping events and hur¬

Netters 
send 
team 
to State 


This year was the first time that the 
entire tennis team attended State. 
They placed in the top third of the 
teams participating. 

Tennis is only one class, whereas 
other sports such as football, golf, 
baseball, and basketball are more 
than one class. The netters had to play 
large schools as well as small schools, 
so their going to State was indeed an 
accomplishment. 

Comprised of mostly underclass¬ 
men, the tennis team won District and 
had a 6-5 record. One high point of 
the year was defeating BHS in a tie¬ 
breaker, which enabled them to 
advance to State.

Alan Gill, Matt Englehorn, Tom Murray, and Tom Englehorn run for the Pioneers. 


The harriers enjoyed one of their best 
seasons ever. It started with the usual 5- 
7 miles a day in the 90° weather. As the 
season progressed, the weather cooled 
and the hard work began to pay off. The 
team placed second out of 17 teams at 
the Early Bird Classic in Minonk, and sec¬ 
ond out of 31 teams at the Spartan Clas¬ 
sic at St. Joseph Ogden. 

Then at District, after thinking they 
had won, the runners were disheartened 
to learn that they had missed first by 2 
points, once again getting second. In 
sectional the thinclads placed seventh, 
missing state by 2 points. The MVP was 
Alan Gill.

A great year is the only way to 
describe the sophomore football 
team’s season. They were undefeated, 
for the first time in 15 years, with a 
record of 7-0. Only two teams were 
able to score against them. The play¬ 
ers averaged 25 points a game to 2 
points a game for the opponent. They 
feel that their success was due to the 
coaching and their practicing with the 
varsity. They were a close-knit team 
and that really paid off.

boys gained a lot of experience.

Sophomore’s 
record 10-13 

The Sophomore Basketball team 
had a record of 10-13 this year. They 
came in second at the St. Bede Tour¬ 
nament. The team was plagued with 
many injuries throughout the year. 
Steve Girardi, Steve Riddle, and Todd 
Vohland all suffered injuries. Many of 
the squad members had experience 
from practicing with the varsity. This 
and the fact that Coach Morris ran 
them a lot so that they would be in bet¬ 
ter shape than anyone added up for a 
good season.

Girl ball players improve 


Laurie Hursh and Connie Bier battle for the ball 
during a rebound. 


Hard work and long practices pre¬ 
vailed for the girls' basketball team. 
They won first place in the sub¬ 
regional games, but got knocked out 
of the regional tournament by Normal. 

Improvement was a positive factor. 
With only five returning players. 
Coach Thompson was faced with an 
inexperienced group. Yet with a squad 
full of juniors, sophomores, and fresh¬ 
men, next year’s girls' basketball 
team will be something to watch for.

Early, cold, morning practices paid 
off for the girls’ tennis team as they 
staged their first winning season ever 
with an 8-4 record and advanced three 
players to the state meet. 

The first victory was savored the 
most when U-High edged perennial 
tennis power NCHS, 5-4. For three 


years, the four seniors suffered 
through not winning a single match 
until this year. 

Standouts for the Pioneers included 
No. 1 singles Sue Arildsen, who ended 
up with an 11-1 record and advanced 
to State.

The girls’ volleyball team supported 
by a strong parents’ cheering section, 
swept through districts and made a 
brilliant second place finish at section¬ 
als. 

The talented spikers did better than 
their record shows. The team played 
many AA schools and vastly improved 
as the long season progressed. The 
young team (without a single senior) 
promises to be one of the strongest 
teams around next year. 

More important than records, the 
team was brought closer together with 
team T-shirts sporting each player’s 
nicknames on the back, topless bus 
rides, and with the team members 
being responsible for a “spirited sur¬ 
prise” for each game.

a small Ohio town. Sweet Apple, and 
gives his “Last Kiss" to Kim McAfee, (a

Approximately 60 people worked

play 

“Dark at the Top of the Stairs” was 
U-High’s spring drama. Fear was the 
theme; fear of people, fear of life, and 
fear of ‘the dark at the top of the 
stairs.’ The play centered around the 
lives of a family from Oklahoma. The 
family members were played by Jon 
Westcot, Juliet Pritner, Erin 
McCarney, and Metcalf student, Troy 
Thiel. * 

Other cast members included: Meg 
Moore, Sara Myers, Kris Hagglund, 
Jerry LoMonaco, Alan Gill, and two 
more Metcalf students, Tom Little and 
J. D. Scringeour.

Keeping with a long-standing U-

Exercise, placed well in its competition 
with the state. After a victory in the 
District and a second at Sectional, the 
show tied for a second at State, but 
placed third after the tie-breaking pro¬ 
cedure. 

The play itself concerns the relation¬ 
ship of two very different people work¬ 
ing out the differences between them. 
Both cast members, Chris McHugh 
and Alan Gill, were unanimously 
selected to the All-State Cast for their 
portrayals of ‘the actress' and ‘the 
actor,’ respectively. The performance 
was also greatly enhanced by the tech¬ 
nical skills and offstage voices of Tom 
Downs and Chip Liston.

Karen Carmichael, Meg Moore, and Anne Sessions (I to r) discuss the outcome of last weekend's tour¬

. . and the winner is — University 
High School.’' 

That sentence was repeated week¬ 
end after weekend during the 1977- 
78 speech season. The speech team 
started off a little slowly, but gained 
speed quickly finally winning the Dis¬ 
trict and Sectional contest and send¬ 
ing eight team members to State. 

At State, U-High was represented by 
Seniors Sue Erickson, Dana Davidson, 
Chris McHugh, Pete Ericksen, Alan 
Gill, Rima Petrossian, Anne Bushnell, 
and Junior Erin McCarney. In the 
finals Dana placed 7th in dramatic 
interpretation. Sue placed 5th in 
humorous interpretation, Chris and 
Pete placed 5th in dramatic duet act¬ 
ing, and Alan placed 3rd in oratorical 
declamation. 

Closing out the season speech team 
members attended the Tournament of 
Champions. While there, Dana David¬ 
son, Chris McHugh, Pete Erickson, 
Erin McCarney, and Eric Secoy 
received special honors and Karen 
Carmichael won original oratory. 

All in all Coaches Carol Weidmann, 
Sue Sherman, and Bob Neuleib felt 
the year was a big success. 



Novice Francie Eberhard prepares her original 
oratory. 


Senior Dana Davidson works her way to State. 










Steve Cushman apparently disagrees with some¬ 
one’s statement. 


Miss Weidmann explains the ins and outs of debating to Kris Hagglund and Mark Schroeder. 


Of the 15 people who debated this 
year, 9 were novices and the rest were 
junior varsity level. Thus, the team 
was still relatively inexperienced. 
There were several highlights of the 
year. 

One of these was the Heart of Illi¬ 
nois Conference Tournament. Keith 
Searight and Joe Hoane took first 
place while Eric Secoy and Mark 
Schroeder placed second. Another 


highlight was the novice team of Steve 
Cushman and Jeff Grant’s undefeated 
record at Oak Park-River Forest's 
Tournament. 

Toward the end of the year U-High 
teams did well at two of the most 
important tournaments of the year. 
The ISTA Small State, where Joe 
Hoane and Mark Schroeder, made 


junior varsity quarter finals division, 
and Secoy and Searight received sec¬ 
ond place in the jr. varsity division. At 
IHSA Sectional Secoy and Searight 
tied for first, but received second on 
the tiebreaker. At State, the duo more 
than doubled the number of ballots 
taken by either of the U-High teams 
which qualified the year before.

Honor Society 
initiates busy 

National Honor Society was busy as 
usual electing new initiates. The fun 
started with the fall initiation. Initiates 
had to wear masks on Halloween, 
carry opened umbrellas in the hall 
(one never knew when it might rain) 
and occasionally one initiate could be 
seen kissing Laura Milligan. She in 
return would remove one of his pins. 

The seniors had fun putting the jun¬ 
iors through trials. You might have 
seen them dressed as their favorite 
athlete or wearing short outfits on a 
semi-cold day. You might have even 
heard them singing the school song in 
the lounge. 

NHS completed the year by holding 
a reception for the incoming fresh¬ 
men. They also had their annual initi¬ 
ates dinner on May 21.

Senate—year of firsts 


Senate accomplished a great many 
firsts, this year. 

It was the first time the band never 
showed up for Homecoming, although 
this extra money allowed for the Twirp 

it 

dance, the Christmas semi-formal and 
the Valentine's dance. 

It was the year of the first-ever Spirit 
Week which increased school enthusi¬ 
asm various ways including a merita- 
ble clean-up day where each class cov¬ 
ered a part of the school. 

It was the first time homerooms met 
as class meetings, which seemed to 


work more effectively. Parking Lot 
committee acquired another row of 
parking spaces and Senate had stu¬ 
dent fees raised in fear of a cut in 
extracurricular activities. 

Students also raised a whopping 
$350, for the Crippled Children's 
Camp during April’s Fund Drive Week. 
Fund Drive was different than previ¬ 
ous years with its ever popular lunch¬ 
time Bingo, faculty-student volleyball, 
the cake lottery and the pie-in-the-face 
of the class president. 



Coach Morris spikes the ball, during the faculty-stu¬ 
dent volleyball game. 

















The theme for the 1978 AFS weekend 
was friendship. We all know that the pur¬ 
pose of AFS is to bring people from all 
different countries and backgrounds 
together, to share new ideas and experi¬ 
ences. U-High's AFS weekend on Febru¬ 
ary 3, 4, and 5, certainly accomplished 
this purpose. 

Students from 17 different countries 
and their host brother or sister were 
invited. 

Some of the activities in the weekend 
included a tour of the Law and Justice 
Center, a tea at the International House 
as well as a home basketball game and 
an all school dance. 

There was also a pot luck and a sing-a- 
long at Wesley Foundation. 

By Sunday afternoon it was very hard 
to say goodbye to our guests, but at least 
we were given the chance to make some 
very special new found friends.

Homecoming! 



“Scheme,” Ghosts mar week 


“Just You and Me,” was the theme 
for Homecoming ’77. Its traditional 
schedule started off Wednesday, Oct. 
12, with the hall decorations. The Sen¬ 
iors won with their colorful decoration 
of the lounge (tables arranged in 
UHS). Thursday night included the 
games between classes with the bon¬ 
fire shining in the field and soon after 
the movie, “Wait Until Dark,” which 
kept in the tradition of scary movies. 
Friday started with a spirited pep 
assembly. IVC then upset U-High in 
the football game with a score of 12-7. 
Topping of the night was the perfect 
yearbook signing party. Alumni were 
scattered while books were passed, 
hoping to be signed. The next day, 
everyone helped to make the dance a 
success. Haystacks outlined the 
lounge and autumn leaves crumbled 
on the floor. Besides the fact that the 
band, “Scheme,” didn’t show up, the 
night was enjoyed by many. Corona¬ 
tion of Laura Milligan and Curt Coffer 
got on its way and everyone danced to 
the amusing sounds on the stereo 
brought by Dr. Norris.

Pioneers exhibit spirit 


Three happy Senior guys arouse everyone’s spirit in the lounge as they stood 
g upon tables and cheered loudly, “We must! We must! We must increase our busts! 
The bigger the better. The tighter the sweaters! The boys depend on us!!!” 

Meanwhile a cowbell rang in Room 234 and a senior stands and recites Shake¬ 
speare in PE class. 

“What’s wrong with the U-High bunch this week? Everyone’s spirit is higher 
than ever, even when football season is over!” exclaimed a confused student 
I teacher. “It’s SPIRIT WEEK!!” said a wise freshman. “Everyday this week is a Spe¬ 
ll cial Spirit Day!” expressed another student. “Yea! Yesterday was T-shirt Day, 
and today is Hat Day.Last week, seniors were auctioned and they had to do a task 
today that the buyer requested, if it was reasonable!” responds Tom Scott who is 
dressed up as one of our enthusiastic cheerleaders. 

Tomorrow is Color Day or Green and Gold Day, and Thursday is Dress-Down 
Day. Everyone is required to wear their grubby clothes so we can do a good job in 
cleaning the school area in the afternoon,” said a spirited junior. 

“Yeah! and Friday is Dress Up Day and the Twirp Dance. The girls are supposed 

to ask the boys to the dance. I just don’t know who to ask!” worried a Sophomore 
girl. 

“Boy, this school must have a lot of school spirit. It shows,” said the squirrely 


freshman. 


Ballerina Jim Brandt shows us his new outfit. 


“Of course it does. Why do you think we’re called the Mean Green

Best class night ever 


Coach Scott (Dave Taylor) gives us his Weekend-Update while Pat O’Brien and Rima Petrossian + visi¬ 
tor look on. 



The Class of 1978 closes Class Night together, tearfully singing “The Secret of Life is enjoying the passage of time.” 



76 















The senior class of 1978 finally came 
through. After four years of not quite get¬ 
ting together. Class Night came off a 
success. 

Teachers, parents, and kids alike 
enjoyed the evening of fun and laughs. 
Although administrative censorship 
- seemed too tough at times, seniors 
worked hard to overcome the obstacles. 

Class Night Live was the theme of the 
show based on the program “Saturday 
Night Live." 

Appearing as the guest band were the 


Nuclear Slugs, while “Coach Scott" 
was the Weekend Update host. Four 
newscasters read wills while slides of 
U-High students were in the back¬ 
ground. Skits that were acted out 
included cheerleaders, dolls, back- 
stabbers and PDA. 

Class Night as usual is not an easy 
job. It takes a good crew to get the job 
done. Scenery was done mainly by 
Alan Gill and Dave Taylor, while sen¬ 
iors wrote the script. 

The traditional gift giving, (class gift 


The dolls skit included Peter Parmantie, Dr. Norris, Ma Hall, Announcer, Metty, Linda Walker and Robin 
'sneer' Smaling.

The Class of ’78 gathered not for 
rehearsal, but in caps and gowns for 
commencement. Collars were 
straightened, caps pinned. Some stu¬ 
dents giggled; some waited seriously. 
Nervous anticipation and excitement 
passed from person to person. 

Once on stage, apparently calm, 
speakers Cathy Crumley, Sue Erick- 
sen, and Tim Bergin joined Salutato- 
rian Jon Doud and Valedictorian Alan 
Gill in addressing the friends and fam¬ 
ilies gathered. Senior singers sang 
"What I Did For Love.” 

And finally diplomas were received, 
tassles moved — left to right. The 
Class of '78 left Stroud, relieved and 
happy, to attend the reception in the 
lounge.

The annual Junior-Senior brunch was 
held in the Old Main Room of the Union 
on May 19. The food proved to be tradi¬

dition Senior guys and girls had a good 
smoke. 

Senior speakers were Laura Milligan, 
Chris McHugh, Sarah Townley, Jeff Wil¬ 
son, Mike Ritt, Pete Ericksen and Alan 
Gill. They talked about revising the hand¬ 
book.

Acaoemically, Juniors filled their 
schedules full, so they could enjoy 
their Senior year to the fullest. It 
was tough but their spirit at games 
showed through their heavy stud¬ 
ies. The Class of ’79 made a lot of 
money, with hard work at the tradi¬ 
tional Coke Bar, lightbulbs and 
hats. Total class participation is an 
advantage they will always have 
over other classes.

The usual Sophomore driving craze came 
through on schedule. Basic classes like 
Health with good old Coach Scott and Driv¬ 
er's Ed. with the one and only Coach Morris 
provided the class with much to do. No 
longer “those freshmen," the Class of '80 
started the year out selling pens with bas¬ 
ketball schedules on them and spirit notes 
during Spirit Week. This class spent the 
year feeling good as sophs, but wondering 
what the next two years had in store for 
them. 


Typical Sophomores Lynn Jesse and Sue Weldon don’t know which way is up.

Freshmen begin “first act” 


As Freshmen enter U-High knowing few if 
any students, they start the new experience 
called High School. Going to the wrong 
class, or trying to down the staircase that 
only goes up is the typical Frosh way. The 
Class of '81 started to group early and were 
highly involved in school activities. Fresh¬ 
men had a good start for the year ahead.

Me? A yearbook co-editor? That’s right. Me, Kori Sawyer, who can’t write any¬ 
thing creative, although Mr. Parmantie has tried hard enough, who can’t take a 
decent picture, and who spent half of her junior year looking at all the pictures 
from previous yearbooks, a yearbook co-editor. Furthermore, I don’t know any¬ 
thing about journalism. But Sarah must have had faith in me, and anyway, who 


but? uaru wen, i learned now xo write creatively (well . . .) 
I still can't take decent pictures, but at least I don’t look at all the old pictures, 
(at least not the ones that are locked up). Anyway, being a yearbook co-editor 
was great fun and although it took up a lot of time, it was worth it Besides, as

AFS student from Switzerland Francie Eberhard receives her diploma from Mr. Schuler. 


Dear U-High, 

This year has been a great experi¬ 
ence for me. You, the Whalen family, 
the school staff and the students are 
all a part of it. Thank you very much. I 
got to know the United States is you 
and I also got to know myself and my 
home country much better. This all 
makes the year here very important to 
me. 

I enjoyed U-High. It is a very special 
school, small and in a big city and still 
there are so many possibilities for the 
students. I got to know a different 
school life and system. It was fun and 
I will take back to Switzerland many 
new ideas and tell them all about you 
here. Since I got to Illinois many of my 
ideas about the U.S. have changed. I 
know now that not all of you eat food 
out of cans and live in skycrapers!! 

I hope you too learned something 
through us AFS'ers. People from all 
over the world are coming each year 


Silvia delCastillo AA to Turkey gives Francie her

to the United States, for most of them it 
is a big change in lifestyle. And still — 
we are the same — human beings, with 
the same feelings, sometimes happy, 
sometimes sad and we all need others to 
support us. And that’s what AFS is all 
about, to accept and understand people 
as what they are — human beings and 
therefore be able to cooperate with them 
as friends. 

So long.

I have graduated. 

I am starting to wonder what I have 
done for the last four years. On college 
transcripts l can write down: AFS, 
yearbook, English, P-belles, Coke Bar, 
accounting, tennis . . . but what does 
it really mean? 

You learn more from high school 
than participating in activities and 
going to class, like how to work with a 
group of people . . . that good friends 
have heart-to-heart talks . . . how to 
be a good sport . . . that events like 
prom and homecoming are fantastic 
but if you have fun with a guy — just 
goofing off — isn't that considered a 
special event? . . . how to be creative 
. . . that if you get rejected once TRY 

Clarionette editor Jeff Wilson, see what it can do to 
you? 


Crazy editors 


again and again . . . how to gain 
friends . . . how to lose friends . . . 
that you have to take dares . . . most 
of all, how to be an individual. 

Just remember . . . you get out of 
life what you put into it. And you 
remember the good times from high 
school. So make many. SKT 


is 



Being Clarionette editor gives Jon Doud an intellec¬ 
tual look.

Publications 
work for fun 

Working on the Clarion and Clarion¬ 
ette is not an easy job. It takes a lot of 
work, imagination, patience and time. 
Sometimes no one shows up to work. 
Sometimes deadlines aren’t met. 
Sometimes it's not as good as you had 
hoped. Sometimes students don’t 
even know who is editor. But it’s 
rewarding. 

You can see your own work in print. 
You can learn how to write — and 
spell? You can make creative pik 
chers. You can get closer to other stu¬ 
dents at U-High you hardly knew. And 
have fun!! 

We four editors — Jon Doud and 
Jeff Wilson, Clarionette, and Kori Saw¬ 
yer and Sarah Townley, Clarion, agree 
this year was great. We would like to 
thank the students who actually 
helped us. We also give a huge thank 
you to Peggy Scott. Without her help 
and guidance we would not have 
made it. This included outside of 
working on publications. Thanks all — 
























This year. . .
